Attila the Hun

Here’s an interesting thought about Attila the Hun. 

 Although, he is often stereotyped as a crazy, terrible, cruel ruler, he had another whole side to him that few people know about. He was actually quite merciful to his captives, very caring to his people, and he didn’t live, like many other kings did, in extravagancy, but rather lived just like all of his men. The most interesting part is that his ruling style is compared, by many historians, to Julius Caesar’s ruling. Even though they ruled in very similar ways, Caesar is a hero and everyone has forgotten about his cruelty and the torturing that he did, but everyone remembers Attila’s nastiness and forgets about his greatness.
